I am just curious about people’s taste here, since this community looks sane compared to other “loony-toons” gaming subs or forums online.
You don’t need to explain yourself just name them.
Thanks

- Returnal

Unordered Top “5”: Yoshi’s Island Subnautica Portal 1/2 Assassin’s Creed 2 Halo Trilogy
Bonus: Alien: Isolation Halo: Reach Half Life series RimWorld Stardew Valley Papers Please

- SOMA
- Red Dead 2

- Half-Life 2
Honorable mentions:
- Warframe should be the example by which live service games are designed and operated.
- Crimson Desert… is such a paradox of game design. In almost all aspects, 70% of the game is fantastic, but the remaining 30% is a shocking display of incompetence and/or indifference. The exception is player training, which is consistently horrible.
- Factorio
- Dominions (from dom3 onwards)
- Age of Empires 2
- Alpha Centauri
- Xcom Apocalyse
No particular order, but definitely games I’d love to play again with no memory of playing them:
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Dark Souls 3 Hollow Knight Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon
Age of Empires 2 (Age of Kings & Conquerers), NFS MW-2005, GTA Series (Liberty City, Vice City), Crysis 3, & Assassins Creed 2 Ezio-Trilogy.
Top 5 is cutting too short. There are so many timeless games that didn’t make the list.
Super Mario World Final Fantasy 7 Minecraft GTA San Andreas Katamari Damacy
- Metal Gear Solid 2
- The Talos Principle
- Demon’s Souls
- Silent Hill 2
- Inside
Obviously just videogames I’ve already played.
Twisted Metal
Starsiege: Tribes
Half Life 2
Fallout New Vegas
Skyrim
Honorable mention to old school WoW. It was the people I played with who made it great.
That’s tough. Lot of choices. Are we filtering by “most impactful” or “most likely to replay” or something else? I’ll go games that made a big impression on me. There’s some boss towards older games.
- Diablo
- Final Fantasy 7
- Baldur’s Gate
- Dark Souls
- Guild Wars 2
Cyber punk 2077
Planescape tournament (original)
Witcher 3

Ys VII: The Lacrimosa of Dana Fallout New Vegas MechWarrior 3 Rollercoaster Tycoon Battlezone II: Combat Commander
Well, it’s always tough for me to pick something “best” for me. At least there’s top 5, but it feels still too limiting to my weird braincells. So here’s current top 5, thinking it could be different by tomorrow’s taste.
Fallout Morrowind Gothic Heroes of Might & Magic 3 Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
